Tara looked around the electronic store then walked over to the sales counter.

"Hey, um, I'm interested in buying those headphones in the window," She said to the cashier hopefully.

The cashier had spiky red and black hair and a look of boredom on his face.

"Oh, well, those are the last pair," the cashier said dully, and went over to the window.

"How much are they?" Tara asked.

"35 dollars," The cashier said, looking at the tag.

Tara blinked. "35 dollars?"

"Yep," The cashier said simply. "They're on sale, usually they're 40 dollars."

"I only have 30.." Tara said and looked in her wallet, almost as if hoping for more money to suddenly appear in the sleeves.

"Well, that's a shame. They're pretty popular, if you don't get it, I'm sure someone else will."

"Is there any more of a discount I can get? A coupon? Something?" Tara asked. "Maybe a Christmas Eve special? A Christmas spirit super sale?"

"It's already on sale," The cashier said, rolling his eyes.

"Right." Tara said with a sigh and went to the door. "Well thanks anyway.."

As she left, she heard a scoff from the cashier. Tara frowned and walked onto the sidewalk.

Now what was she going to do? How would she get another 5 dollars? How-

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a hurried young mailman carrying a large amount of packages crashed into her.

"Ah!" Both of them cried out as the packages and themselves fell onto the ground.

"Are you okay?!" The mailman asked, getting up worriedly.

Tara brushed the snow off of her. "Yeah, I'm okay."

The mailman helped her up. "I am so sorry. I have to get these heavy packages delivered really fast. Or the people expecting the packages and my grandfather are going to be super upset."

Tara took a few presents off the ground. "Do you want some help? Maybe if I deliver some of them with you, then it will go faster. I think you're going the same way I'm going anyway, one of these are for my parents."

The mailman nodded his head and picked up the rest of the packages. "That'd be great! Let's go!"

So they both took off quickly in the snow, trying to be careful and not drop the packages.
